10:00 am
special happy birthday to our audio magic man, and also to my daughter carina, who turns 15 today. make it a great day, and happy new year, everybody. ooh, baby, it's cold outside. >> it sure it. >> welcome to america's news headquarters. >> it's cold outside. we'll stay inside. topping the news this hour, taking on the obama administration. coming up, exclusive new details into senator rand paul's massive class action lawsuit against the white house over the nsa spying program. >> plus, assessing the situation in sochi. what russian authorities are now doing to try to keep our winter olympics safe, following last month's back-to-back terror attacks. and predicting the state of
10:01 am
the economy in 2014. coming up, we will take a look at how things on main street and wall street are expected to shape up in the year ahead. we begin with this fox news extreme weather alert. there's a huge chill for the record books this time. a deep freeze of historic proportions now sweeping from the midwest all the way to the northeast. forecasters warning some of the low temperatures they're seeing haven't been seen in decades. even places that are used to bone chilling cold aren't taking any chances. for example in minnesota, the governor preemptively closing all the public schools on monday, where the temperature in minneapolis is supposed to hit, are you ready for this, a high of minus 14. brian is live in central park where it's pretty darn cold there too, here in new york. that minus degree temperature is the real temperature, not with the cold index or whatever that they add on to that. brutal cold.
10:02 am
>> that's exactly right, jamie, which is why people -- the forecasters are saying this is dangerous for everybody, including those who think they've grown up in winter weather and know what they're about to face. right now, i'm in central park where it's 20 degrees and sunny, which is warm, considering what much of the nation has already gone through the last 36 hours and will continue to face until tuesday. there's about 6 inches of snow on the ground. a light powdery snow. you can't really build a snowman in that sense. people are shoveling out. now forecasters are warning people that starting saturday night into tuesday, life-threatening windchill and just dangerous, dangerous temperatures, like you had said. we're talking negative 50 degrees in some parts of minnesota. in fact, on monday, officials in minnesota have literally just canceled school for monday, for all of the students in that state. for the first time in 17 years, because of the cold weather.
10:03 am
>> this is the kind of weather where in five minutes, ten minutes, kids can get significant frostbite and the governor wanted to make sure kids are safe. >> the deep freeze is really -- this weekend's storm is going to bring cold all the way through central indiana where there's been lines at grocery stores. people stocking up for this, yet another storm where they're expecting snow there in the next few hours, or by the end of tonight and into tomorrow. they're stocking up on all the supplies, milk. all the shelves are being completely wiped away clean. this is the dangerous freeze comes after of course a snowstorm that dumped two feet of snow outside of places like boston about a foot and a half, in boston, causing about 16 deaths around the united states through mostly car accidents and thousands and thousands of flight cancellations. about 8,000 flight cancellations this week. 729 today. which is a lot less than what we've -- than what we've seen. now, also, as people are
10:04 am
shoveling out of the snow of course, people are getting ready for nfl playoff football. that's the big thing this weekend in philadelphia. 10 inches of snow fell there. lincoln financial field has been shoveled out over the last few -- over the last day or so. getting ready for the big playoff game tonight. where temperatures are supposed to be 20 degrees. in green bay tomorrow night, when the deep freeze goes in, from saturday to tuesday, it f s on record. perhaps getting close to the ice bowl in 1967, where the high was negative 13 degrees. we're talking about game-time temperature tomorrow night in green bay reaching perhaps negative 7 degrees. that's, like you said, without the windchill, jamie, so cold for everyone, stay warm out there. >> which you're not, i can tell, i've been out there in conditions like this, your mouth is starting to freeze. i don't want people to be confused with the sun behind you. thank you so much, bryan. it is darn cold. >> exactly right. >> anyone who has to be outside, someone's got to shovel the snow, someone's got to uncover
10:05 am
that car covered in snow. we want you to be really aware of the serious health dangers that you're facing together, today. it could prove fatal. at least 16 people have already died as a result of this weather. we're going to tell you how to stay safe in this arctic blast. a good reminder could save a life. dr. david sumati is going to help us with that later in the show. kelly. >> a fox news to tell you about. former first lady barbara bush is resting at home. the 88-year-old was discharged from a houston hospital a short time ago following six days of treatment for pneumonia. in a statement, mrs. bush thanked her doctors and nurses for her care. on monday, the nation's longest married presidential first couple will celebrate their 69th wedding anniversary. congratulations. >> that's the best news of the day, that she's going to be home. meanwhile, president obama has to say good-bye to the tropical temperatures of hawaii, wrapping
10:06 am
up a two-week vacation with the family, returning to washington, where a full plate of issues awaits. also leaving, senior white house foreign affairs correspondent wendell, live from honolulu. boo hoo, wendell, we're sorry you have to leave, it is cold in d.c. i'm sorry too. first up on the agenda is an extension of long-term unemployment benefits. on tuesday, he'll call on congress to do what it has in past years when the jobless rate wasn't high and so many people weren't nearly out of work for so long. >> instead of punishing families who can least afford it, republicans should make it their new year's resolution to do the right thing and restore this vital economic security for their constituents right now. >> mr. obama will also push for an immigration reform bill. though house republicans continue to object to the path to citizenship he says is necessary to draw 13,000 illegal
10:07 am
immigrants out of the shadows and he'll focus efforts on implementing the affordable care act. after the disastrous rollout of the website. republicans are determined not to help him, saying the law is flawed and should be repealed. it remains to be seen how effective the insurance exchange signups actually were. there is a republican push, with some democratic support, to stop using federal money for political conventions and spend it on children's medical research instead. greg harper is a congressman from mississippi. >> if we do, it just might inspire us to come together and do what the american people sent us here to do, jobs, health care, energy, education and innovation are all areas in which the house has started work that washington needs to finish this year. >> the white house hasn't taken a position on harper's bill, but officials point out harper rejected the package of revenue enhancements and spending cuts that would have avoided the
10:08 am
so-called sequester that took a big chunk out of funding for medical research. harper says higher taxes wasn't the answer. jamie. >> all right, wendell, sounds pretty active there, that's not surf behind you. thanks for the report. we'll keep an eye on it. safe travel. >> that's a good looking shot out there. one thing that could get in the way of the president's agenda when he returns to the cold fridge jid frigid temperatures of washington is the spying program. senator rand paul revealing he is in the process of filing a massive class action lawsuit against the obama administration. our peter ducey is live in washington with more details on this class action. peter. >> kelly, as you know, defenders of the nsa's bulk data collection have been saying that dozens of fisa court decisions have already ruled these programs are constitutional. those cases have all been argued in secret.
10:09 am
senator paul wants to bring decisions out to the open, take it to the supreme court, with a massive class action suit. >> we now have several hundred thousand people who want to be part of this suit to say to the government and to the nsa, no, you can't have our records without our permission or without a warrant specific to an individual. it's kind of an unusual class action suit in the sense that we think everybody in america who has a cell phone would be eligible for this charglass act suit. >> another republican bernie sanders is focusing his attention on what might be a violation of privacy inside the capitol dome itself. he has written to the nsa chief asking this, quote, has the nsa spied or is the nsa currently spying on members of congress or other american elected officials? spying would include gathering meta data on calls made from official or personal phones, content from website visited or e-mails sent or collecting any other data from a third party
10:10 am
not made available to the general public in the regular course of business. president obama did recently commission an independent panel to look at reforms that could allow the nsa to do its job without violating the privacy of hundreds of millions of americans. and a decision based on those findings is on the way. >> i'm going to make a pretty definitive statement about all of this in janell, where i'll be able to say here are the recommendations we think make sense. here are ones that we think are promising. but still need to be defined further. >> two federal judges ruled two different ways recently about whether or not the nsa's bulk data collection is unconstitutional. the doj formally appealed the ruling that found those programs violate the constitution. >> peter doocy from d.c. the heat goes on with obama care. new year, new challenge, for the program. a live report on the possible
10:11 am
problems they face in 2014. >> and growing concerns over security. what the winter olympics only weeks away, is russia up to the job in the wake of back-to-back terror attacks? plus, new details on the tragic death of "fast and furious" star paul walker, what investigators have learned, next. ♪ we're gonna be late. ♪ ♪ ♪ oh are we early?

welcome back. libya now says they are releasing an american and a cameroon national arrested earlier this week at ben gaza campus. the ministry would not say why the two were being held. >> former racing legend michael schumacher is in critical condition but now stable in france after a skiing accident. his manager is saying his family plans to turn over the camera he wore on his helmet to investigators. he's been in a medically induced coma since that accident. we're learning new details on the death of "fast and furious" star paul walker. a coroner's report confirming the actor and his friend were traveling more than 100 miles an hour when their car hit a tree
10:16 am
and light pole before bursting into flames. drugs and alcohol were not a factor. >> tragic story. it's going to be tough at the beginning of the year for those going to their doctors and keeping an eye for you on the rollout of obama care and some new troubles for the health care law. a group of nuns from the little sisters of the poor are in a legal battle with the obama administration over the law's contraceptive mandate. the nuns are in charge of nursing homes for the elderly. let's get some sense into this story. molly heninburg can do that for us live in washington with the latest. >> congress returns to town next week, but already some republican lawmakers have weighing in on this case, including the gop senate minority whip john cornyn. senator cornyn put out a statement on the case of the little sisters of the poor. they're an order of nuns based in colorado who run, as you were saying, jamie, nursing homes for the low income elderly.
10:17 am
they oppose birth control for religious reasons and don't want to provide contraceptive coverage for their employees as obama care mandates. as we wait for the supreme court justice to make some kind of decision on the case, senator cornyn said in a statement today that the white house is, quote, working to silence a group of nuns in colorado who object to the obama care mandate, requiring coverage of contraceptive services. it's an absurd new low for this mandate-happy administration and an unacceptable front to liberty. they need to sign an exemption paper saying they cannot provide contraception coverage for religious reasons and then neither they, nor the catholic owned organization that provides their health insurance, will have to do so, nor will they face obama care fines. the administration solicitor general said in a filing friday, quote, with the stroke of their own pen, applicants can secure for themselves the relief they
10:18 am
seek from this court. and the employer-april plant can'ts' employees will not receive coverage through the third party administrator either. the lawyers for the little sisters of the poor say they cannot sign the exception form because they believe it requires the government to require some other entity to provide some contraceptive coverage for their employees. >> thank you so much. >> as molly was talking about, gop leaders are now calling for regular updates of healthcare.gov which also comes as millions of americans are preparing to use the health care program services for the first time. so the question is is how could all this impact the president's signature legislation going forward? angela mcgrlowen and our next guest joins us today for this
10:19 am
important issue. obama care has to work for those who are enrolled. what will we see when people start going to the hospital, where the harvard study suggests more people will be showing up for er visits because they can't afford obama care. angela. >> i think what we'll see is more people actually going to the hospital and the emergency rooms, but also, we need to know with this law that the republicans are introducing and keeping tabs on the website, how many people are impacted, where their premiums are being increased. how many people are losing access to facilities. how many people are losing access to their doctors. and how much of those rebates costing the american people? because the bottom line is the affordable care act, noble in purpose, is not affordable. >> steven, what about her point, noble in purpose but not affordable? >> it's just untrue. first of all, in terms of its impact, you have 160 million americans who are not going to
10:20 am
be impacted at all because they're covered by their employer. you had 50 million americans who couldn't afford health care at all before this law who now have access to health care including $2 million who have already signed up and millions more who needed health care who were rejected for having pre-existing conditions who now can't be rejected. those are all people who will be positively impacted by the health care law. to your question about this piece of legislation that was just introduced, that piece of legislation will have no impact on the law. it's just another piece of politics and process the republicans are focused on as opposed to focusing on the law itself. >> you're saying politics in process. but let me get this in. the president being stung by the failures of the rollout of healthcare.gov is considering hiring a tech team, hiring more people, to come in, with a technological base in order to improve it but also expand it. angela, getting to the point, the president still mired with problems in the total rollout of
10:21 am
this plan. and now it's time for people to start using it. >> kelly, first, shouldn't we have done this before we rolled out healthcare.gov? shouldn't we have found out if the website worked? steven, first, i don't know what you're saying that i said that wasn't true. number two, the legislation has not been introduced yet. congress should introduce it next week. but it's like putting the cart before the horse, kelly, that now we're going to fix a website that's already been rolled out, and the fact that we don't even know if our information on this site is secure. >> this is exactly my point. my point is the republicans want to do is spend their time focusing on hoping this law fails. >> hoping -- >> talking about -- talking about a website over and over again, about the process of a website, instead of actually addressing the status quo. i'd like to know from angela actually, what's the republican's plan for health care? what's the republican's plan for improving health care in america? >> republicans introduce
10:22 am
bipartisan bills where they got support from democrats in 2009. they've introduced bills last year. they've introduced bills -- the affordable care act in 2010 -- >> -- repeal the law entirely -- >> first of all, you didn't ask -- >> okay, angela, angela and steve, i mean you're going places that i don't think the american people really need you to go right now, steve. because you're being kind of snarky right now. that's okay, you're entitled to that. but the bottom line is, steve, there are a lot of people out there who have had cancellations, their premiums are going up, and there are people who justow, can i have this plan work for me? you have people on both sides of the aisle scratching their heads saying, what the heck is going on, can we get this train and make it run properly, or do we have to fix the whole thing from the ground up? what's wrong with that kind concern? >> i don't think there's anything wrong with that kind of concern. the obama administration has attempted over and over again to
10:23 am
address the difficulties as the rollout happens. this is big serious legislation. it's going to change the face of health care in this country for decades to come -- >> precisely, which is why i asked the question about healthcare.gov, the rollout. three years in the making, it should have been done. angela, the final word. >> it's one thing to have access to health care and all people should, but what about quality health care and what about you can keep your health plan, you can keep your doctor? that hasn't happened for many and a lot of people have lost their health insurance plans. >> bottom line, train has left the station. a lot people are trying to catch up with it. hopefully, it will deliver and get them to where they need to be on time and in an affordable manner. thank you, good day to you. we're following several stories for you this hour. first, a man grabs a 7-year-old girl, it was at gunpoint, right outside her home. what police are saying about how that turned out. >> plus, the winter olympics are just weeks away.

time slipping by very quickly. it's the bottom of the hour already. time for the top of the news. a bone chilling cold bringing dangerous and record breaking cold to much of the u.s. forecasters warning frigid temperatures this low haven't been seen in decades. you can feel it, jamie. >> absolutely. to the bone. well, a 7-year-old california girl was kidnapped at gunpoint
10:29 am
right outside her own home but she's been found alive. police say 43-year-old david douglas followed the family home from walmart and grabbed the girl. investigators found the victim inside douglas' car several hours later. thank goodness she was not hurt. >> some sad news from the music world. legendary singer phil everly, one half of the everly brothers, has died. phil's wife says he died from complications from lung disease. he was 74 years old. >> quite a run. at this hour, there are growing concerns over safety during the winter olympics in sochi. today, russian president putin signing a decree to beef up security at the games set to begin a little more than a month from now. all of this after two deadly bombings in southern russia in recent weeks. as an insurgent leader is calling on his followers to attack these very games. but this is not the first time the olympics has been a target. does the kremlin have what it takes to keep sochi safe?
10:30 am
let's bring in retired major general, a fox news military analyst. happy new year, thank you for being here. >> thanks, same to you, jamie. >> i appreciate that. would you travel to these games as a tourist? >> no, i wouldn't. there's risk involved. as you know. i think the u.s. olympic team is safe. i think the greatest danger would be to the traveling public. not so much in sochi, but in surrounding areas. transportation hubs. airports, railroad stations, soft targets, where the chechen rebels have been very successful in the past in killing russians. i mean, the chechen rebels have been at war against russia and the soviet union for hundreds of years. remember 1994, 1999, russia essentially flattened the city of grozny, the guy in charge of that was vladimir putin. over 5,000 russian soldier, died. 100,000 chechens. there's a lot of animosity among these rebels for putin in
10:31 am
particular. and an opportunity to have some sort of cosmic event during the olympics is something that we need to be very concerned about. >> obviously very tempting to a terrorist organization or individual lone wolf terrorist. so you don't believe vladimir putin when he says he'll put extra security in place that will be sufficient? >> there's a difference between extra and good. the federal security services and the ministry of interior forces don't have a very good reputation for stopping terrorist events, certainly not in moscow, certainly not in volgograd and other places. there were 1,500 terrorist events in chechnya, right next door, over the last few years. the other thing, god forbid, if there's a hostage situation, the fss has a reputation of killing more innocents than they kill bad guys. the chechens have had an opportunity now. four years to plan this out.
10:32 am
who knows, the terrorist groups could already have embedded themselves in these different venues, waiting for an opportunity to strike, jamie. >> you're making it all seem so transparent. what was the olympic committee thinking? they must have evaluated these risks. >> well, of course the word on the street is mr. putin really, really put pressure on the ioc to hold this venue here instead of in austria, simply because he wanted to showcase this region, the black sea region of russia. he wanted to increase his own standing in the international community. one of the ways to do that is to host the olympics. i find it very strange that the ioc would put a venue within 15 minutes driving of three regions in russia, south ossesia, all three of which have been harboring insurgencies for hundreds of years. >> i'm trying to figure out what role putin will play.
10:33 am
should the u.s. have taken a stronger stand on participation? >> i think so. who's to say? this is a free market economy. the olympics are a place that people from all over the world love to visit and they love the community that goes particularly with the winter olympics. but you're right, russia hasn't been very kind to the united states in the past few months. and the idea of spending dollars and converting them into rubles at this late stage to me is not anything i would particularly enjoy. >> finally, what's your advice to folks who spent a lot of money, saved up, this is their big trip of the year, if not their lifetime? >> be aware there are risks involved. be aware that density of security in a particular venue is not necessarily an assurance of security. and be most aware of traveling through soft targets. places like railroad stations and airports. where the insurgents are most likely to strike, jamie. >> all right, major general,
10:34 am
it's good to have you on this topic. we always think when these big events are coming up what might happen. let's hope nothing. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> kelly. >> it's a brand-new year. with the start of the new year comes the dawn of new beginnings. that's what getting out staying out does for hundred of young offenders every day of the year. it helps them pursue their goals and fulfill their aspirations beyond the dream. >> i grew up in harlem. i kind of had it rough. i grew up in foster care. >> 26-year-old coren mills tell, me he bounced from family to family in foster care. never having a family to call his own. that led to a life on the streets, doing crime and doing time in prison. help w he was headed in the wrong direction. >> i was done. i had no future. >> but now coren is a student in college. he plans to become an athletic
10:35 am
trainer for a college or professional team. where would you be without this program? >> oh, man, to be honest, man, all my life, i probably wouldn't be here right now. i'd be dead or in jail. >> 22-year-old william is the father of a young baby boy. he wants to become a role model to his son so he's leaving his old life behind, seeking to become an entrepreneur. >> i want to be a business owner some day. i want to open a chain of funeral homes. >> each of these young men have experienced difficult childhoods growing up in the inner city of new york. they chose to commit crimes and served prison time at likes rikers island. their lives are being transformed through a unique program. goso, an acronym for getting out staying out, is helping people overcome past mistakes. it's a program that offers hope. >> i try and talk to them about the future. that you cannot live in the past. what's happened has happened. i almost tell them, i don't even care if you did it or not.
10:36 am
what i'm concerned about is what do you want to do when you get out. and with respect to your record, what have you done since you got out? >> mark goldsmith is the founder. mark spent most of his life as a successful ceo and entrepreneur in the cosmetics industry. now retired, he recalls his first encounter with students behind bar, at ts at the rikersd correctional facility. >> they said, we don't know why they listen to a guy in a suit. what are you telling the guys? i did the analogy between general motors and the cartel, one legal, one illegal. i showed them there are jobs available other than the drug business. >> an instant bond developed between mark and the students. he began to recall how he wasn't the best student when he was a teenager in high school. but he had strong family support that gave him a direction and purpose in life. something the young men in prison have been lacking. >> i remember what it was like being 18 years old to 24 years
10:37 am
old and not having a clue. and then i thought to myself, what would happen if i'd grown up in east harlem? what would happen, if i had come from a family that had a lot of problems? i always say, there, but for the grace of god, go any one of us. >> it has reducinged the recidivism rate and have been successful. 80% of those graduating from the program never go back to jail. he attributes that to providing hope to young men, giving them the chance to discover their talent, abilities and dreams. >> it's jobs that lead to careers. it's education. it's getting their ged. we have our own ged program now. going to college. staying in college. >> you've got to love mark and what he's trying to do along with his staff. the participants have gone on to earn degrees or certificates and jobs. their lives have been turned around because the staff has reached out to help them reach a difference. because of the success, the
10:38 am
program is now being duplicated in other cities throughout the country. goso. >> you know what, telling these stories is so inspirational for other people to start these programs or expand. thank you for telling us about it. there are major developments in the tragic saga of jahi mcmath. the story we've been telling you about, her family and the hospital lawyers have now come to an agreement about the care for the 13-year-old girl who's already been declared brain dead after routine tonsil surgery. >> plus, we're take the pulse of the economy. will 2014 be a banner year for your money? the outlook coming up.

welcome back. federal reserve chairman chief ben bernanke looking into his crystal ball and seeing good times ahead for the economy. his prediction of strong economic growth as he prepares to hand the reins of the fed over to janet yellen on monday. the outlook for wall street may be less optimistic. some experts there now saying that the bull market of 2013 may be running out of steam. what can we make of all this with main street and wall street? joining me now, kyle arrington, founder and managing partner of arrington capital management.
10:43 am
kyle, happy new year to you. so looking into your own crystal ball is ben bernanke right? >> well, you know, kelly, i hate be to the bearer of tough news, but the reality is, is that i think that the economy in 2013 has been artificially stimulated by extremely low interest rates. i think ben bernanke did the best job he could to keep rates at a point that matched what main street was telling him. new, as of this last quarter, we saw a bit of bernanke. he's getting ready to leave office and janet yellen will be coming in. we saw some tapering. what that suggests, is the economy getting better and should the fed be less involved in this economy? i think that that is going to be a mistake. because i don't see the main street numbers matching the data in an effort for the fed to not
10:44 am
be involved at all. i want to see a free market, but the fed being involved somewhat here i think is important, because, kelly, we had -- in 1980, we had $1 trillion in a federal deficit. today, we stand at $17 trillion. we have a half a million jobs on a yearly basis leaving the united states and going to china. we have an unemployment rate that is extremely high. we currently have 56 million americans approximately on social security. they estimate in the year 2035 to have $94 million people collecting social security -- >> kyle, to your point then -- >> these numbers are -- >> your point -- >> my point is the following, that we need to create profits in a healthy fashion. keep and create more jobs here in the united states in an effort to have a healthy sustainable economy on its own. not with overinvolvement of centralized banks. >> you said a mouthful.
10:45 am
let's back that up a little bit. what we're looking at then, if i hear you correctly, is a jobless recovery, which does not body well when you're going into the future, because you need some real job creativity out there, to really be sure the average american is being able to grow up with this recovery. >> that's exactly right. i think you need healthy job and employment in the united states on its own in an effort to create the future of social security and the economy in a healthy fashion. we can't just keep interest rates at artificial lows in an effort for people to say, well, i'm not going to be able to earn any money in treasuries, for example, so i'm going to put my money in the stock market because it's the only other place to be. i think when that happen, and it happens in 2013, you see an overinflated equity market. >> exactly. so how well do you anticipate that wall street will do -- the
10:46 am
stock market will do in this coming year? will it be anything like 2013? >> no, it will not be like 2013. because interest rates can only go so low. they're at extreme lows right now. so what i think is you have to be cautious. i think you have to be proactive about overseeing your own portfolio or working with an adviser to do so. i think you need to identify sectors that i think will be driving growth engines in the u.s. like technology, like bio technology, where we seem to be on the forefront of entrepreneurism and wealth creation in those areas. i would say be very proactive about looking at your overall portfolio. i do not expect returns to look the same as they did in 2013. >> kyle harrington, we thank you for joining us and sharing your perspective. again, happy new year to you. >> you, too, kelly. >> i think i'm putting it mildly when i say it's a blast of extreme cold weather hitting our country. it is brutally cold. we're talking below zero for temperatures in some areas.
